Raquel's POV
The last thing I remember was my argument with Rustin. I panicked when I realized I was at the hospital. The doctor said that I lost consciousness and almost lost our baby. I was so relieved when she said almost. I don't want to lose my baby. I was so exhausted that I fell asleep. I heard Rustin talking and I pretended to sleep.
"Don't scare me like that again. I thought I was going to lose you. I'm sorry. I should have listened and not argue with you. That stupid inheritance has nothing to do why I'm here."
"Hi, sir." Someone came in the room and interrupted him.
"Hi, how is she?" Rustin asked.
"She's doing fine. We just need to closely monitor the baby. She just need complete bed rest and the doctor had medication prescribed for her and the baby. I'm just here to check her vitals."
"Why is she still unconscious? She's been here for three hours."
"Hello, how are you feeling?" The nurse a
Rustin’s POVDay five. The staff at the hospital are all used to me. They even let me sneak in Raquel’s room when she was asleep. Claudette was pissed and won't bring me a change of clothes or anything. Luckily, the interns and the nurses like me. They have been kind enough to buy food and clothes for me. They even got me an extra bed at the corridor corner so I can take nap at night. I was pretty comfortable."Rustin, she's asking for you." The nurse informed me."Are you sure?" I was totally surprised."Do you want me to go back and ask her? She might change her mind. Just go in there and don't chicken out.""Thank you.""Hi, I heard you camped out my room for days now." She smiled at me."I didn't know what to do. You said you don't want to see me. I don't want to leave." I replied standing by the door."You're stupid. I've been thinking about us. We need to figure out what will do." She st
Raquel’s POVI had a lot to think about. The truth is I already decided to give Rustin a chance after listening to Claudette. I just can't seem to have the courage to tell him. I feel really embarrassed of accusing him and the argument that we had was playing back on my head nonstop. I was so pathetic. I finally got the courage to talk to him. I've been hearing the nurses and the interns giggling when they talk about him. I was feeling uneasy that he was flirting with someone else."Hi, I heard you camped out my room for days now." I smiled at him nervously."I didn't know what to do. You said you don't want to see me. I don't want to leave." He replied standing by the door."You're stupid. I've been thinking about us. We need to figure out what will do." I started. "You can come in. You can sit.""Thanks." He sat on the chair close to me."I know you've been coming in here. I wasn't asleep every time you w
Raquel’s POVI couldn't sleep. Rustin and I finished watching a movie and he was lying on the spare bed in the room. It's difficult to sleep when I was so happy. We were officially a couple."Go to sleep." Rustin startled me."I can’t sleep. I thought you were already sleeping.""I can feel you staring at me.""I'm cold.""Do you need an extra blanket?" He got up."No. Can you sleep next to me?" I requested."Sure."He lay next to me and I literally use him as my body pillow. My head on his chest and my arms and legs wrap around him. He embraced me and I felt safe and secure. I woke up when I heard voice in my room."What's going on?" I asked with my eyes still close."Sorry. I told you guys to keep it down. Now you woke her." Rustin stated."Why are they here?" I asked when I sawfive interns in my room."We're sorry. We were just getting our flas
Raquel’s POVMy discharged was processed. I was really annoyed that the staff were all friendly towards Rustin. I didn't realize that I was the jealous type until the female staff started hugging him to say goodbye. He is mine. They shouldn't be touching my man. He is such a flirt. He hugged them back and even said that he'll see them around."Are you okay?" Claire asked as we got to my apartment."I can't believe him. He was flirting with those nurses and interns in front of me." I complained."He was being nice." James responded."I'll see you around. Perhaps we can hang outside the hospital sometimes." I stated mimicking Rustin."You're cute when you're jealous. I don't think he even mean to hang out with them. He was just being nice." Claire stated."He had to hug each one of them to be nice. He is such a flirt. He enjoys being swarmed with female attention.""He is moving in with you and
Rustin's POV I am in cloud nine. Raquel and I have been living together for a week. We have petty arguments but I let her win all the time. I mean, she's pregnant and I really don't want to upset her. I don't want her breaking up with me or kicking me out of her apartment. Claire, James, Claudette and Theo shows up unannounced most of the time. It was like they don't have a life of their own. "Rustin, you can't stay here and expect for your grandfather not to look you." Claudette stated as we were out at the poolside while Theo and Raquel were watching TV. "What do you expect me to do? Go to him and tell him I'm not taking over the company and by the way my girlfriend is pregnant."I blurted out. "He will find out. It's better if it comes from you. Theo had to make up lies just to cover up, why we are all of a sudden here in New York." "I am in my happy bubble. I have never been this happy and you want me to ruin it."&nbs
Rustin’s POV After her follow up check-up. The doctor said that she's doing much better. She was no longer on complete bed rest but the doctor advised that she should not do any strenuous activities. We went over to Claire and James house since Claire invited us. "You have a lovely home." I stated. "Thank you." Claire smiled. "I'm so happy. You're no longer confined to your house and you can get out." "You sound more excited than I am. I don't mind being indoors." Raquel replied. "Right? I forgot that you're anti-social." Claire rolled her eyes at her. "Are we having barbeque?" Raquel stated excitedly ignoring Claire's comment. "Yes. And we have guests." "Guests?" She looked at her surprised. "Hey. Congratulations." "Stephanie, your back." She embraced her. "Samuel." She also embraced him. "We tried to invite Theo and Claudette but she refused. She said she's not goin
Rustin’s POVI can't believe that Raquel was jealous at Claudette. She has nothing to be jealous about. I drive back to the city and went to the hotel where Claudette and Theo where staying at. I had to fix things with Claudette. The earlier I fix it the better."You have the nerve showing up here." Claudette stated angrily after Theo let me in."I'll leave you two to talk." Theo stated as he left the room."Claudette, I'm sorry." I looked at her sadly. "Please don't get mad at me.""You put a flight restriction on us. That was fucking stupid.""I can't have you leave. I can't let you just leave when you were upset at me." I reasoned out."What you said hurt." She stated. "But I can't stay mad at you even if I wanted to." She smiled at me."I knew it." I embraced her. "I love you." I kissed her forehead."I called your lawyer to put a stop on the stupid news spreading about you. Would y
Raquel’s POVI couldn't sleep. I miss Rustin. I check the time it was almost mid night. I don't know why but I can't seem to fall asleep without him next to me. I checked my phone and he didn't even texted so I decided to call him."Hi, did I wake you up?" I asked."I couldn't sleep." He replied."Where are you?""I checked in at the hotel Claudette is staying at.""Right.""I love you. I wish you were here.""Me too.""Do you want me to go there?""Don't be silly. It's late. You can come pick me up tomorrow morning so we can go home.""I thought you'd be staying there for a few days.""I change my mind. Have you patch things up with Claudette?""Yes. Please don't be jealous of her. As I mentioned, she's like my sister.""Okay, I'll try but I can't promise.""I'm buying the house next to Claire's.""You haven't seen it. What if you
